Wash the cucumber and strawberries thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel.

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, and cut the strawberries into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the freshly sliced cucumber rounds and strawberry pieces. Toss them gently.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey until smooth.

Add salt and black pepper to the dressing, whisking to incorporate.

Pour the dressing over the cucumber and strawberry mixture and toss gently.

Slice the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them into the salad, tossing gently.

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if desired, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
